1 A lipogenic diet in mice with a disruption of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene reveals a stringent requirement of endogenous monounsaturated fatty acids for triglyceride synthesis. Triglycerides stearoyl-Coenzyme A desaturase 1 Mus musculus
2 Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) catalyzes the de novo biosynthesis of oleate and palmitoleate, which are the major fatty acids found in triglycerides, cholesteryl esters, and phospholipids. Triglycerides stearoyl-Coenzyme A desaturase 1 Mus musculus
3 Triglyceride synthesis, as measured by the incorporation of [(3)H]glycerol, was dramatically reduced in the liver of SCD-/- mouse fed a lipogenic diet compared with the normal mouse. Triglycerides stearoyl-Coenzyme A desaturase 1 Mus musculus
4 These observations demonstrate that induction of triglyceride synthesis is highly dependent on SCD1 gene expression. Triglycerides stearoyl-Coenzyme A desaturase 1 Mus musculus
